Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS
The application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/817,729 filed on Jun. 30, 2006, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to devices for storage of pool-cleaner apparatus in their multiple and variable form.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A number of problems exists with respect to the storage of automatic pool cleaners and related devices such as hoses. These problems are well-known to those who have or are involved with pool cleaners and, more specifically, to those who are involved in placement of pool cleaners for storage during periods of non-use and re-installation of pool cleaners after periods of non-use.
Various organization systems and devices have been developed. Examples of such prior art devices are those disclosed in the following United States patents: U.S. Pat. No. 6,102,215 (Guida), U.S. Pat. No. 5,988,408 (Evans et al.), U.S. Pat. No. U.S. Pat. No. 5,890,605 (Percudani), U.S. Pat. No. 5,690,235 (Matzen) and U.S. Pat. No. 4,583,647 (Schinzing).
Organization systems and devices in the prior art have certain shortcomings and disadvantages to which this invention is addressed. In particular, there is a need for a pool cleaner storage device which can provide convenient and compact storage of an automatic pool cleaner and related hose sections that is wall-mountable and easy to install. It would be desirable that a pool cleaner storage device also be able to prevent hose sections from becoming coiled and hence ruined.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of this invention to provide a pool cleaner storage device that overcomes some of the problems and shortcomings associated with the prior art.
Another object of this invention is to provide a pool cleaner storage device for convenient and compact storage of an automatic pool cleaner and related hose sections.
Another object of this invention is to provide a pool cleaner storage device that prevents hose sections from becoming coiled and hence ruined.
Another object of this invention is to provide a pool cleaner storage device that is easy to install.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide a pool cleaner storage device that is able to be mounted on a wall.
These and other objects of the invention will be apparent from the following descriptions and the drawings.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention is a wall-mountable device for convenient and compact storage of an automatic pool cleaner and related hose sections. The inventive device includes a body having a shelf portion with a substantially-horizontal upper surface sized to receive the pool cleaner thereon, a back-edge portion having a substantially-vertical surface securable to a wall, and hose mounting portion(s) having substantially-horizontal ledges defining open-sided notches each sized to receive and support a hose section for uncoiled vertical storage thereof.
Each hose section, of course, includes a connector end with hosing extending therefrom. In certain preferred embodiments of the invention, the notches are sized such that the ledges support the hose sections by the connector ends resting thereon. The body has non-back edge portions and at least one hose-mounting portion forms a non-back edge portion, thereby facilitating placement of hose sections for storage and removal thereof for use.
Preferably, the ledges are spaced below the upper surface whereby the connector ends are recessed with respect to the upper surface.
The aforesaid non-back edge portions preferably include (a) pair of opposed side-edge portions each formed by a hose-mounting portion and (b) a front edge portion.
The device preferably includes additional hose-mounting portions attached to and positioned below the shelf portion. Such additional hose-mounting portions have substantially-horizontal ledges defining open-sided notches each sized to receive and support a hose section for uncoiled vertical storage thereof.
Some embodiments of this invention also include hose-mounting portion(s) attached to and positioned below the shelf portion. Such additional hose-mounting portion(s) have substantially-horizontal ledges defining open-sided notches each sized to receive and support a hose section of uncoiled vertical storage thereof. Each notch is preferably sized for snap-engagement of a hose section therewith.
The body of the device is preferably a unitary molded structure, made using any of the wide variety of polymeric materials all of which are well-known to those skilled in the art of swimming-pool cleaner equipment.
BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DRAWINGS
The drawings illustrate a preferred embodiment including the above-noted characteristics and features of the invention. The invention will be readily understood from the descriptions and drawings. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view from above of a pool cleaner storage device in accordance with this invention.
FIG. 2 is another similar perspective view, but with dotted lines further indicating characteristics and features of the pool cleaner storage device of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a front perspective view from above of the pool cleaner storage device of FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is another similar front perspective view, but with dotted lines further indicating characteristics and features of the pool cleaner storage device of FIG. 1.
